CHA Summer 2010 Update

Hello Friends!

We are having so much fun at CHA and have ordered so many amazing new things.  Our feet are SO sore, but it's all in the name of great new supplies!



We saw some of our favorite designers, including Tim Holtz, Marah Johnson, Cheryl Mezzetti, Jenni Bowlin, Nikki Sivils, Suze Weinburg, Becky Nunn, Margie Romney-Aslett, Wendy Vecchi and the Glitz Girls (to name a few)




Gine got to see one of her friends - the fabulous Dena Maria from Webster's Pages.


Poor Tawni - Tammy and Gine wore her out with the many orders they placed.


It was also great to see several fresh new companies, who's products compliment our favorites.  All our new finds are amazing - trust us! (More pictures to come)

The highlight of show was Tammy's decadant (and ginormous!) necklace she got in Atlanta - I'm pretty sure she was stopped more then Tim!  Check her out next to one of Tim's creations for the Advantus booth and you can see who won the necklace contest.


So many of the booths were creative and spectacular - a must-see was the Graphic 45 booth - it's a work of art!

These are quick, unedited photos, but we didn't want to wait to share more with you!  We'll post more once we get home.  One more day of the show tomorrow.

Off to bed now - Goodnight!

And yet another sneak!

Happy Tuesday ladies! Hope you are all enjoying your summer so far : )
Today is my turn to share what I have done with this months kit.



Like Krista said, I love the versatility of this kit and the fact that I was able to use inks, glimmer myst and more inks made it that more much fun to play with!!!



Make sure you stop by tomorrow so see what the other ladies have done : )

Have a wonderful week!!!

CHA Summer 2010 - Day 1

Chicago, here we come! 




Business Cards - Paper Niche style (On the plane, we added Rhinestones to the Chandeliers on the back of our business cards)



Hello from Chicago! 


We arrived today, and while the show officially starts tomorrow, we attended a special event held by Creative Imaginations tonight.  We met Tawni on the Red Carpet!


We ordered their new designs, but by far, the highlight of the evening was the new Harry Potter line!  We'll have more pictures for you tomorrow, but for now, check out our sneak peek, and us posing with the Boy Who Lived.



Good night for now - we're off to an Ice Cream Social sponsored by Moxxie.
